[Edit this paragraph] Background introduction
During the period of 1993, after Studio Ghibli released several masterpieces with profound themes, the producers generally entered a state of exhaustion. Therefore, Miyazaki Hayao decided to plan a series of "excellent sketches" with low cost, short cycle and relaxed theme. The first part of the series is called Listening to the Ear (also translated as Girl in Dream Street), which is inspired by a comic book of the same name, A Girl, and is supervised by Yiwen Jiang, who has worked with him for nearly 20 years and worked as a painter in several works of Ji Studio. The action and background of the characters in this work are completely true, and the background sound effect adopts the most advanced dolby digital surround sound technology at that time, so there will be a strong sense of presence when watching it. In the film, the imaginary world of Hayayuki Island is adapted from a series of fine arts works "ィバラド" by the famous Japanese painter Naoki Inoue. The ethereal and refined fantasy world is fascinating. The theme song "Country Road" sung in the film (adapted from the famous song "Take Me Home Country Road" by American country singer john denver) has also become a masterpiece widely sung.
[Edit this paragraph] synopsis of the story
Tsukishima Shizuku is a little girl who is now in middle school. Like every graduating student, she is also faced with future choices. But she is not a girl who is addicted to her lessons. She likes to read more extracurricular books and write down her feelings. One day, Wen sent a box lunch to her father who was a librarian. On the way, she met a fat cat and took the tram like a human. Curious, she traced all the way back to the source, so she found an ancient and exquisite toy store-"Global Village" on the hillside. The cat doll baron on the table in the shop shone with magical aura, which fascinated her deeply. On the way home, a boy brought back her forgotten lunch. The fat cat that disappeared before is sitting in the back seat of the boy's bike with a smile on his face. So a magical fairy tale began between the boy and Wen.
It turns out that the boy is learning to make his own violin. He hopes that Wen can sing an English song she is translating: Country Road in john denver, and personally accompany her with the violin. At this time, other old musicians came back, so in the "global village", they played their own instruments. The warm little concert ended with happy applause. After being introduced, Wen got to know the boy who was learning violin. Shengsi confided to Wen that she wanted to study in an ancient Italian piano school. Inspired by the love story of Baron Cat in the toy store, Wen also decided to write a story about Baron Cat-the story that two people in love can't be together because of various misunderstandings.
Both Wen and Shengsi are facing the crossroads of graduation choice, but they have firmly chosen their own yearning path. Under the pressure of study and examination, Wen finally finished the novel and showed it to grandpa in the toy store. Grandpa was deeply moved and told the true story of Baron Cat. It turns out that the story of Baron Cat coincides with the story written by Wen. Wen was intoxicated by these wonderful experiences. Shengsi finally got the understanding of her parents in China, and finally she could go to Italy to learn piano-making skills. Finally, at that sunrise, under the clear sky, before leaving, the sage bravely confessed to Wen, and Wen happily agreed. They embraced-the saint shouted, "Marry me!" "
The most profound implication of "Listen to Your Ear" is that at the end of the film, Shengsi takes Wen on a steep road with a bicycle. Wen thought that she might be a burden for Shengsi to embark on the ideal road, and resolutely jumped down from the car to help push the cart. "I don't want to be a burden to the fourth army, but I will work hard with the fourth army to finish this road." At that time, this short scene was really touching and speechless
The story of "Listening to the Ear" took place in 1994. Most of the background of this painting comes from downtown Tama near Tokyo. Everything becomes very ordinary and real, as if things were happening around you. Unlike most girls' stories, the hero and heroine in this film are immersed in love that is always on the verge of life and death. Instead, they encourage each other to learn from each other and strive for their own ideals, which is very different from the idea that many teenagers read good books and make big money today.
